Phishing Campaign Simulation

Phishing Campaign Simulation


With over 80% of all cyber attacks in the UK starting with a phishing email, it’s clear that preparing your organisation for this sort of malicious activity should be very high on the priority list. Most people are familiar with the concept of Phishing, and yet organisations keep falling victim – why is this?

Why are phishing attacks so dangerous?

Phishing so prevalent because it’s the easiest and successful technique used by attackers to gain access to a company’s network and cause damage. Part of the reason these sorts of attacks have such a high success rate is because they rely on human error and in many cases, the good faith possessed by many of us.

The sophistication of these sorts of attacks is also incredibly high. Cyber criminals are able to deliver emails that look very legitimate and are sometimes almost indistinguishable from genuine emails the receiver frequently gets. These phishing emails can appear to come from a line manager, requesting urgent action, or a supplier chasing an invoice. whatever the source, unless trained in what to look out for, people are often very likely to interact with the email in good faith, assuming it’s genuine, only for the gates to open and malware to come flooding into the network.

One in every 3,722 emails in the UK is a phishing attempt

Our service can be tailored to your specific needs, allowing several campaigns to run simultaneously within your organisation – targeting different user groups such as high-risk remote staff, key process workers or C-level executives.
